TIRED EYES.
How to Allay the Uncomfortable Feeling
Resulting From n Strain.

How to Allay the Uncomfortable Feeling
Resulting From n Strain.
People speak about their ewes being
tired, meaning that the retina, or seeing
portion of the eye, is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retipa hardly
ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the
inner and outer muscles attached to the
eye-ball and the muscle of accommoda-
ton, which surrounds the lens of the
eye. When near object is to be looked
at this muscle relaxes and allows the
lens TO th;cken, increasing its re-
fractive power. The inner and
outer muscle are used in cover
ing the eye on the object to
be looked at, the inner one being espe-
cially used when near object is looked
at. 1t is in the three muscles mentioned
that the fatigue is felt, and relief is Sc
cured temporarily by closing the eyes or
gazing at far-distant objects. The usual
indication of strain is redness of the
rim of the eyelid. betokening a congest-
ed state of the inner surface, accom-
panied with some pain. Sometimes this
WEAKNESS indicates the need of glasses
rightly adapted to the person, and in
other cases the true remedy is to mas
sage the eye and its surroundings as far
as may be with the hand wet in cold
water.-Herald Of Health.

FASHIONABLE FURS.
What the Leaders of Fashion VIII Wear
Huring the Present Season.

What the Leaders of Fashion VIII Wear
DurinS the Present Season.
There is but little change to note in
the fashion of furs. The most impor-
tant this season is the introduction of a
pelerine, with long "stole' fronts, very
much after the style of the cape with
very long square ends worn over hun
dred years age. This handsome gar
ment will be worn by number of lead
ers OF fashion, who have brought it
among their list of garnered treasures
from abroad. There is great style, how
ever, in the brevity of the back which
displays the tournare and the rich fabric
of the dress, and the long ends which,
upon a stately figure, give an appear
ance of unusual distinction. In other
elegant garments for more general wear
are surtouis. pelisses. Ncwmarkets and
paletots long and luxurious. and in short
wraps which display the skirts of hand
some costumes, are models in vste
jacket, dolman and pelerino shapes,
the latter reaching the waist line only.
Upon new pelerines very rich orna-
mental clasps are seen, one at the
throat, another few inches below it,
The ascendancy of dark furs this season
is only in keeping with the preference
for deep-hued colors in every portion of
street attire, which with women of re-
fined and cultivated tastes has passed be-
yond caprice of fashion, and reached a
fixed principle. Gray and golden
brown furs are about the only exception
to the rule, and these are used as Innings
and tr innings. Natural beaver, otter
fur and blue fox maintain their ac-
quired position, and will be even more
fashionable this winter than ever be-
fore Sets of natural beaver-hat,
cape and mulf-are still in great de-
mand, but otter, by nature of its cost,
is used mostly for bands and caps.
The quality of silk plush has reached
such degree of richness in effect that
it can hardly be distinguished from
sal skin, and its elegant appearance
has had very much to do with reducing
the widespread sale of fur, its really in
expensive cost compared with the price
of seaD, added to its richness of effect
in cloaks and as garniture, establish
ing it as the only real rival to fur. Fur
trimmings will be largely used this
winter, the fashion even invading the
ballroom and my lady's boudoir, where
they certainly seem out of place. The
plain gorcd skirts worn this season by
many women have suggested the use of
fur bands in narrow rows half way up
the skirt, and many will be thus finish
ed. These narrower bands are an inn
provement upon the one very deep
shaggy band which for two winters past
formed weighty, cumbersome and use
less finish to the foot of the dress skirt

A Good Law for Jersey Parsons.


The new marriage laws OF Pennsylvania,
framed to prevent hasty marriages, have
been ip operation year. They have had
one certain result; they have increased
the revenues of the Jersey parsons who
live near the Pennsylvania line. In Cam
den the Roman Catholic clergymen refuse
to marry hasty couples from Philadelphia,
but many Of the Professionals are not so
conscientious One parson stayed home
during his summer vacation and made
some three hundred dollars in fees. An
other has cards, giving his residence and
minute directions how to get there, dis
tributed on all the ferry-boats plying be-
tween philadelphia and Camden.

Two well-known characters among
the Onondaga Indians have recently
died One was Aunt Cynthia Farrar,
famous for her wealth. She kept a
bank account at Syracuse, loaned thou
sands of dollars, and bought the lands
of her debtors when they could not re-
pay her. She owned, after the Indian
manner of title. more than 500 acres of
land, worth 500 per acre. She began
her career as manufacturer of bead
work. The other celebrity was Aunt

COSTLY CANDIDACY.

Considerable establishment has of late
been occaSioned by the publication of the
cost OF running for office in New York.
The expenses, regarded, too. as perfectly
legitimate, ranged up into the tens OF thou
sands. The same thing is repeated, though
on smaller scale. in nearly every city in the
country, and the evil, the precedent and re-
suit OF official corruption, is a growing one.
Though doubtless it can never be wholly
eradlcated, much can still he done to check
it. In the first place, the primary reason
why men strive for municipal, and, fire.
quently, state offices. is that the positions,
through perquisites and the opportunities
thus afforded, give their possessors extra
ordinary facilities fer money making. Every
office should therefore have simply rea-
sonable salary attached, just compensa-
ton for the work performed and nothing
more. Any attempt to use the position as
a money-making medium should be for
hidden by law and all perqusites
or opportunities for acquiring them should
be cut off. With the incentive toward Sc
curing sinecrre offices thus removed, there
would be less spending of money in obtain
ing them and the disreputable portion Of
practical politics" would gradually disap-
pear. When candidate is willing to spend
several times what It is worth to secure
certain Office the very fact is in itself sus
piclous. If through some kind of leger-
demain the doubtful middle men in political
life, who exact most of the tribute from
candidates could be removed, and if the ex
penses of candidates could be, through
eompulson of law, reduced to the actual
campaign expenses which every fair
minded person would regard as legitimate.
not only would better offceholders be, in
many instances. secured, but Amerc can
politics would he much more savory thing.
1t is feared, however, that such a con-
summation like the millennium Is long
way distant

TIE DRUMMERs, TAX.

The decision of the supreme court de-
caring the tax imposed by state OF ter
tory upon commercial agents from another
state to be unconstitutional will be good
news to thousands of those energetic bust
ness men popularity known as drummerS
The decision is one which agrees with COM
mon sense as well as law. and should have
been made long since. There is no form of
raising revenue which has less to commend
it than the imposition of the drummerS'
tax." While many states have been broad
enough to observe that such tax initiates
against their own interests. and have
accordingly done away with it, numerous
others, blinded to the fact that the acquire
ment of little present gain is at the eX-
pense of future benefit, have retained it.
The tax must now disappear everywhere,
and the drummerS, or, more properly speak
ing, their employers, will consequently
rejoice. The drummer brings the whole
saler and retailer, separated by thousands
of miles perhaps, together without expense
on the part of the latter, and enables him
TO purchase his stock as satisfactorily while
seated in his own office as he could by
making a tedious and costly trip to the city.
He thus affords facilities for increasing the
commercial wealth and resources of the
community and state which would be
checked by the continued imposition of an
onerOus tax. 1t is right that the drum
mers should be free to come and 60 as they
please. and that doubtless is the universal
opinion of those most directly interested,
the merchants upon whom the wide-awake
agents make their periodical calls.

BUNGLING LEGISLATION.

Considering the number of bills that
passed the late legislature. the legislation of
the session Jared remarkably well in under
going the scrutiny of the executive depart
ment. Less than a score of the whole
number of bills passed failed to receive the
governors approval. 1t is barely possible
that the governor was lenient in his eXani-
nation Of the work of the legislature.
Within the short space of time allotted for
the examination of the numerous bills that
were piled upon the executive table during
the closing hours of the legislature it would
be impossible to give them that critical
scrutiny which they deserved, and it would
not be a matter OF surprise if some of the
measures which successfully ran the gaunt-
let of an executive veto may afterwards be
found to be defective. At the same time
the governor exhibited remarkable diligence
III accomplishing the task of running over
the whole batch and being able to single
out some of the most Objectionable for dis
approval. A glance at the list of vetoed
bills and the reasons assigned by
the governor for disappearing them
shows the sip-shod method with
which a great deal of legislation is DONE
which is not so much the fault of the indi-
vdual members of the legislature, as it.
of the constitutional limitation of time,
which is absolutely too short to permit q
Legislature to do its work in satisfactory
manner. For Instance, there was House
Bill No. 219, relating to offenseS against
property, which amended section and
chapter OF the general statutes which related
10 an entirely different subject. Again, i'm
House Bill No. 639, another amendment to
an existing law was proposed in such a
bungling manner that it utterly DESTROYED
the sense OF the whole section. These are
wOillustrati0ns of the folly OF attempting to
leglSlate under pressure. If there Is any
thing in the world which requires calm de-
liberation and ample time for mature re-
Election. it is law-making. In a session of
sixty days it is next to impossible for the
committees to carve out the legislation be-
fore the session is half over. Then there
are certain preliminary stages to be gone
through with before the bills occupy their
regular places on the calendar The result
is that the whole work of a session is
crowded upon legislature within its last
week, and everything that passes gets
through in a rush and under pressure
which forbids an opportunity for deliberate
action. The moral of it all is. that the
GLOBES suggestions relating to the neces-
sity for new constitution receive addi-
tional confirmation. The sooner the state
gets constitution which is adapted to the
requirements of the time, the sooner W i'll
there be an'improvement in the character
of our state legislation.

ALIEN LAND-HOLnERS-

The fact that an English visitor, the
Duke of Sutherland, has purchased tract
of 10000 acres in Florida, calls attention
again to the great holdings of land in this
country acquired abroad. American land
for American citizens is cry which is be.
coming very generally heard and is one
which deserves to be more widely taken
UP. Nebraska has set worthy example
in prohibiting the purchase of enormous
tracts of land in this manner and has re-
ceived pretty general commentator for
her action. We don't want sample of
English landlOrdsm in this country, and
the fact that we possess so much unoccu-
pied land should not lead to Indifference
on the subject The time is fast ap-
preaching when there will be no govern
ment acres at all to dispose of, and it is
unfair to our own people that foreign cap
italsts should be permitted to take advan-
tage of the low prices which this abund-
ance OF land causes to bring about the
scarcity which must some day inevitably
ensue. The investment of foreign capital
in this country is we'll and proper. Within
reasonable limits it deserves encourage
ment, but it should not be permitted to
reach such proportions as to encroach upon
the rights Of the American people.

SANITARY ENGINEERING.

FEa beginning of the spring building op-
erations emphasizes the importance which
should be given sanitary engineering in the
construction of residences. Just as archi-
lecture has come to be recognized as a
separate profession, and just as no dwelling
can be properly constructed unless it be
under the supervision of a competent archi-
tect, just so is sanitary engineering, as ap-
piled to dwelling houses, attaining the i'm
portance 1t deserves. There is no more es-
sential detail in building than intelligent
plumbing, the perfection of other sanitary
arrangements. and there is no other detail
more frequently slurred and heedlessly per-
formed. A house should be healthy
above everything else, and it can only be
made so by the most rigid attention to all
sanitary details. 1t is a growing recogni-
ton of this fact that has elevated sanitary
engineering, once branch of architectural
knowledge, to the dignity Of separate pro-
fession. and the development is one that
cannot be otherwise than commendable. It
is quite probable that good architect may
lso be an expert sanitary engineer. but
lacking that knowledge, no house builder
should permit him to leave plumbing de-
tails to those who claim nothing more than
a mere working knowledge of the subject
and who are in entire ignorance OF its
theoretical side.

A DANGEROUS SURPLUS.

Treasurer JORDAN estimates that the
surplus on hand at the end of the fiscal
year will amount to $1,000, 900. The
probabilities are that after the close of the
fiscal year the 3 per cent. bonds
will be called in, and then. as Speaker
CARLISLE said in recent interview.
there will be no way to keep the
money from pouring into the treasury and
no Legitimate way to get it out. 1t is no
wonder that wise men look upon this state
of affairs in the public finances as menac-
Ing to the business interests of the country.
1t would be impossible for it to continue
long without producing disastrous panic,
for no country in the world could stand a
permanent withdrawal of such large
amount of its circulation. 1t is said that
when England was called upon to pay the
BIS, 600. 900 of Alabama awards, she asked
Tor the privilege OF paying it in installments,
rs the nation could not stand the with
drawal of so large an amount at once And
ret here we have four times that amount
locked up in the treasury vaults.
md the only remedy that can
De suggested is to call an extra
session of congress to devise ways and
means to squander it. This single instance
S a commentary on the viciousness of the
policy of protection which ought to arouse
lpublic sentiment in favor Of tariff reduc-
ion. The entire business interests of the
country are perpetually menaced in order
that few industries may be fostered and
Jew capitalists made richer by it. The
politicians having failed to devise a remedy
for this bad state of affairs, it is about time
that the people were clearing the deck of
ihe inefficient crew and taking the manage
.nent of the ship Of state into their own
hands.
